Default 4-post lift failure

Several years ago someone posted some pictures here of a 4-post lift that failed. It dropped one Vette down on top of another. I want to show the pictures on a non-vette forum.
I am not interested in names or who made the lift. I just want to show what can happen when the lifts are not bolted down.
I had saved the pictures, but lost them shortly after that.
If anyone saved the pictures, could you send them to me.
Thanks

Thank you for the quick responce, but that is not the one I was looking for. That one appears to have had a problem with the latching mechanism. The one I'm looking for, had the second Vette directly under the lift. The leg had actually slide along the concrete, out from under the lift and car. The car had been up there for several hours and the owner was not present at the time.
I had searched, but limited it to C4 and did not see the thread you listed.
Thanks.
